From roster to lab, without a coordinator on the phone. Here's exactly what happens at each step, and why it's built that way.
DTSMS Online is web-based DOT random selection software. It keeps your driver pool, runs the random draw for drug and alcohol testing, and stores the record an auditor will ask for.
Most companies land on one of three approaches — and two of them cost more than they need to, or leave a paper trail with holes in it.
| Spreadsheet / manual | Desktop software | Full-service TPA | DTSMS Online | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup cost | None | License fee | None | None |
| Ongoing cost | None | Per-seat renewal | Monthly service + per-pull fee | Per driver, no minimum |
| Audit trail | Depends on who kept it | Yes, on one machine | Yes, held by the TPA | Yes, always accessible |
| Access | Any device | One installed computer | Through the TPA | Any device, anywhere |
| Who runs the pull | You | You | The TPA | You |
Prefer to keep everything on your own computer? DTSMS also comes as a Windows desktop program. See DTSMS desktop software for that version.
No coordinator on the phone, no waiting on a service to run the pull for you.
Upload your CDL roster or add drivers one at a time. DTSMS Online tracks who's eligible and who's already tested this cycle.
One click generates a random selection sized to your testing rate. The eligible pool is locked in the moment you pull — it can't be changed after the fact.
Export or print the notification and hand it to the driver. Every notification is timestamped, so you can show exactly when it went out.
The same account also holds the rest of what a DOT program has to keep track of.
Due dates for each driver's pre-employment, annual and follow-up FMCSA Clearinghouse queries, with the consent document and a log of each query.
The annual DOT MIS data collection form, built from the selections and test records already in your account.
Employees under FMCSA, FTA, FAA, FRA or PHMSA rules can sit in separate pools, and a TPA can run a pool-wide selection for its member companies.
Every pull captures what an auditor actually checks for — not just that a name was picked, but that it was picked fairly, from the right pool, and left alone afterward. See the full compliance breakdown on our DOT compliance page.
Your first selection is free, any pool size. No card, no sales call.
